Conclusion

MOTIVATION Felt the need for more server experience. Friend is in need of a place to re-home

his websites. Security and Servers are in my intended

career path

INTRODUCTION There is a need for a web server to host

multiple web sites on. Many sources explained different ways

to set up IIS in Windows 7. Essentials for problem solving

What exactly was being re-home on the server

Could server communicate through a Linux based security setup.

INTRODUCTION CONT. I did research on multiple topics for this

project, including:Windows 7 IIS capabilities Managing IIS and web sitesBuilding Web Pages using Adobe productsCompatibility of DD-WRTUntangle Implementation PC construction

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Friends, and myself looking for a place to home and re-home websites.

Sub-Problem: Security concerns to protect sensitive information.

7

ASSUMPTIONS

I will be setting up this network on campus. This may hamper the ability to have the intended security working properly.

Test conditions will be a simulation of a local web page, and a web page donated to me by my friend working on the web server.

PROPOSED SOLUTION

List steps taken to solve the problem such as but not limited to: Starting with an idea of using Windows 7 with a

dual partition on the hard drive with a Linux based web server.

Changed initial idea to having a dual partition with Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2.

Finalized an idea of using Windows 7 and it’s internal IIS.

9

SOLUTION CONT.The final solution involved me building a PC

to use as a web server. It allowed me to know exactly what was going into the project.

Software Involved in the project: Windows 7 Home Premium Linux Untangle Multiple Drivers for Hardware Adobe CS 5 Master Edition Windows Movie Maker CamStudio

SOLUTION CONT.

Hardware Involved in the project: Xclio Super Tower Case Full ATX ASUS P8z 68-V LE Motherboard Intel Core i3-2100 LGA 1155 Processor 2x4 GB G-Skill RAM Rosewill CAPSTONE 650W 80PLUS Gold PS ASUS GeForce GT 430 Graphics Card 1TB Western Digital Caviar Green Hard Drive ASUS 20” Monitor Logitech Keyboard/Mouse Netgear Router and Switch

11

SOLUTION CONT. Assembly

Assembly involved computer construction, and network infrastructure

Testing and troubleshooting Tested computer upon completion

Computer failed to start at first, but was easily fixed Set security up on router, and in Untangle

Network worked without Issue Built a sample webpage, and obtained one from friend for

re-homing testingMany problems occurred with hosting at first, solved

though many tutorials and learning how IIS worked. Can access public hosted webpage though security.

RESULTS

Results:Computer was built and functioningWeb server was installed/configuredAbility to access web page though security.

CONCLUSIONS Significance of project:

Shows ability to troubleshoot and maintain computers and networks with security.

Gained valuable knowledge of servers in general.

Allowed me to gain and use knowledge learned to put a project into place. I can use everything I learned in a future workplace

FUTURE WORK

Additions:Use of DD-WRT(Strengthened security) Involved more server roles, such as RADIUS,

AD, or DNS Email: Stephendriddle@yahoo.com
